Geek.com warns anyone who owns a new BlackBerry Z10, that the BlackBerry Messenger integration will tell all your friends (and family members in BBM contacts when you're watching videos on the web.
Apparently BBM keeps tabs on the BlackBerry media player and it pushes updates when a new track or video gets played.
In BlackBerry 10, however, videos that you come across while you browse the web also fire up a media player session.
That's where the hilarity — or horror, depending on who receives your BBM updates — begins.
It notifies everyone that you're checking out YouTube or saucy videos.
Geek.com warns 'As much as you want to fully utilize the great social features on your BlackBerry Z10, it might be a good idea to disable at least this one feature if you have any concerns about your BBM friends knowing where you watch videos on the mobile web.'
'Pay a quick visit to the BBM settings screen by swiping down while in the app, toggle “show what I'm listening to,” and press back. That'll save your new settings, and potentially a lot of embarrassment.' - Geek.com
